Getting Started
Step 2 Setting the date and time
Set the date and time when you use your camcorder for the first time. The “CLOCK
SET” indicator will appear each time you set the POWER switch to CAMERA or
MEMORY unless you set the date and time settings.
If you do not set the date and time, “--- -- ----” and “--:--:--” are recorded on the tape or
the “Memory Stick” as the data code.
If you do not use your camcorder for about three months, the date and time settings
may be released (bars may appear) because the built-in rechargeable battery installed in
your camcorder will have been discharged (p. 199). In this case, charge the built-in
rechargeable battery, then set your area, the daylight saving time (DST*), the year, the
month, the day, the hour and the minute.
* Instead of DST, SUMMERTIME is displayed on the screen for some models.
(1) Set the POWER switch to CAMERA or MEMORY.
(2) Press FN (Function) to display PAGE1 (p. 24).
(3) Press MENU to display the menu.
(4) Press r/R to select
, then press EXEC.
(5) Press r/R to select CLOCK SET, then press EXEC.
(6) Press r/R to select your area, then press EXEC.
(7) Press r/R to select whether your area is in the daylight saving time or not,
then press EXEC.
(8) Press r/R to select a desired year, then press EXEC.
(9) Set the month, day and hour with the same procedure as step 8.
(10) Press r/R to set the minute, then press EXEC by the time signal. The clock
